Thanks, added to bug CVS as hara-kiri-pianostaff-instr.ly.

A workaround is to
- set PianoStaff.instrument to "" for affected staves.
- set PianoStaff.instr to "" temporarily whenever the problem occurs, like

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\set PianoStaff.instr="d"
R1\break
\set PianoStaff.instr=""
 R1 % problematic line
 \break 
\unset PianoStaff.instr
c'1
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

%
%Edward Neeman

\version "2.6.3"

\header { texidoc = "@code{PianoStaff.instrument} and
@code{PianoStaff.instr} aren't removed when a piano staff is removed
by a @code{\\RemoveEmptyStaffContext}"

reportedin = "2.6.3"
}


<<
\override Score.RemoveEmptyVerticalGroup
#'remove-first = ##t
\new PianoStaff \new Staff {\set PianoStaff.instrument="up"
\set PianoStaff.instr="u"
c'1\break c'\break c'}
\new PianoStaff \new Staff {\set PianoStaff.instrument="down"
\set PianoStaff.instr="d"

R1\break R1 \break c'1}

>>
\layout { \context { \RemoveEmptyStaffContext } raggedright=##t }
